62% of 1,500 license renewers were 36 or older. How many were younger?
570 license renewers were younger than 36.
To find the number of license renewers younger than 36, we first calculate the number of those who are 36 or older, which is 62% of 1,500. This results in 930 renewers being 36 or older, leaving 570 who are younger than 36.
This is the correct answer, as calculated by taking 62% of 1,500, which equals 930 renewers aged 36 or older. Subtracting this from the total number of renewers (1,500) gives us 570 renewers who are younger than 36.
This option incorrectly suggests that there are 620 license renewers under the age of 36. Based on the calculation, the actual number is 570, indicating that this choice overestimates the younger demographic by 50 renewers.
Choosing 790 implies that there are 790 license renewers younger than 36, which is inaccurate. The calculation shows that only 570 are younger, making this option an overestimate by 220 renewers.
This choice suggests that there are 950 renewers under 36 years old, which is significantly incorrect. The number of renewers aged 36 or older is 930, meaning that the younger group must be 570, making this choice a gross overestimation.
The calculation of 62% of 1,500 reveals that 930 license renewers are 36 or older, leaving 570 renewers younger than this age threshold. The correct answer is thus 570, as all other options (620, 790, and 950) present inflated figures that do not align with the simple subtraction from the total. This illustrates the importance of precise calculations in demographic assessments.
